Setka and Zapier
How to set up Setka Cloud API and Zapier integration.
You can export posts from your Setka Account via Setka Content Cloud API. Setka Zapier integration uses this API to automatically export posts to other services and CMS.
Zapier integration requires access to the Setka Content Cloud API. Contact our customer support to get access.
To integrate Setka with other services via Zapier, create Zap with Setka as a trigger:
Zapier connects with Setka via webhooks or by checking the updates in some periods of time. To make the Zapier integration possible, go to the Setka account and proceed to Integrations > Integrate Setka Posts > Other CMS.
The Post API integration will be added. You will see your license key and the ability to add webhooks. This integration will be used in step 4.

The zap can be triggered in 3 ways:
Triggers instantly, if a new post is published on your Setka account.
Triggers instantly, if some published post from your Setka account is updated.
